He's listed as dual-threat and runs the same 40 as Johnny Manziel. I know he has great accuracy and prefers to pass.. But why can't he run that type of offense? The short pass is a huge part of a spread offense as well

Dear Christ

Just watch his film, he isn't remotely like Manziel. He's a pocket psser first and foremost, just has decent mobility. He wont ever run for more than 200ish yards in college. He's much more like Matt Flynn.

I've seen his film and saying he can run a spread option isn't a knock on his passing ability. He already runs the spread passing offense in HS. His mobility allows him to extend plays.. But with fournette and les miles rep, I was assuming it would still be run heavy but in more open formations due to the type of athletes we are targeting
